Topic: eXch - instant exchange BTC / LN / XMR / LTC / ETH / ERC20 - page 52. (Read 30738 times)

I've tried to check eXch since I'm planning to use and exchange there soon. I've copied the name of OP with ".cc" since I thought it's the same as the actual domain which is .cx.
My mistake though since I thought what's in the signature space is the same. Maybe it's possible to request for change name just for that one character 'c' into 'x'. Just a thought though.

It looks like the fees are back to normal but that aside, it's probably best to support Polygon zkEVM rather than the POS chain at this point, this is where all the team's efforts seem to be going to. But I'm not sure if that's something you would want to do (now), since it's not really supported by CEXes right now.

I believe that in regards to the case you are talking about, everything that could've answered was answered already. There is little or no point to start a new round of questions that were answered previously.

The reason why I have mentioned that forum member yesterday's news related to a mixing service listed on this forum.

Also I have my own reasons to believe that account belongs to the actual agency, taking into consideration the same cybercrime investigation team behind that arrest not only works for FIOD, but also Dutch police which is known for communicating with end-users via various community channels, including spinning up dedicated .onion links for their operations. I am aware of every single operation that was performed by these two agencies and how exactly they performed, because all of that was publicly available during the past events and I witnessed everything myself.

For example:



[original at tor.ink] [oshi.at mirror]

When the event that this screenshot represents happened, similar accounts were registered across some darknet forums throwing similar messages what FIODNederland left on Bitcointalk yesterday. These agencies are known for their non-standard community communication practices.

There is a live version of that site still: http://tcecdnp2fhyxlcrjoyc2eimdjosr65hweut6y7r2u6b5y75yuvbkvfyd.onion which is an actual site that belongs to Team Cyber Enabled Crime and Dutch National Police with valid PGP signatures.

I also believe that FIOD's department responsible for yesterday's takedown consists of the same members who were/are working for politie.nl back in time, so it's all just different branding from the same entity, because the methodology involved is identical and they already have a circle of famous people working in this field. You can find many of them on Linkedin.

And by the way:


This indicates that they are quite open-minded, therefore it wouldn't surprise me at all if FIODNederland is legit. The only thing that actually disappoints me in that quote is Tor written erroneously. Guys, it's Tor, not TOR, ffs.

Lol!


This is good news, about improving the security layers and reassuring that your operations will continue even in the case of an unfortunate incident of having the clearnet website shut down. However, I highly doubt that FIODNederland (I mean this user of the forum) would ever be able to do that

Joke aside though, is there any particular reason for which you mentioned Dutch Investigation Service for Financial and Tax Crime (FIOD)? Does this agency represent any risk for you or similar companies? I am asking because the subpoena you presented at beginning of the month was issued by the district attorney from New York, while FIOD operates in Netherlands. I mean, besides the joke about that clown named FIODNederland, is there any connection between the authorities from New York and those from Netherlands?

We were planning to, but the recent gas spike events on Polygon (https://nitter.cz/PeckShieldAlert/status/1725437206075216316#m) made us reconsider adding it. What is the point of an Ethereum alternative if it's prone to high gas fees like Ethereum? Adding more Ethereum-alike chains for us add nothing but more risks. However, it's still possible to have it added soon or later.


We are generally skeptical in regards to any Justin Sun's projects, including Tron, but we will probably add USDT, USDC and ETH on Tron just for diversity.


In regards to what happened on that day - I woke up and had some delicious coffee early morning then the rest of that day was great. Besides that I don't remember anything important happening that day.

We weren't contacted by any officials concerning this case at all. We have also added some extra security layers to our backend server's networking topology just in case ([insert "behind seven proxies" meme here]) and also added a failover backend server, since the income we had from fees last month permitted us to expand our infrastructure significantly. Therefore, in any case, if you see our clearnet site suddenly defaced by FIODNederland or some other agency, then I assure that our onion will continue working and we will announce a new domain here the same day.

Hey eXch, given the fact that it is almost end of the month, thus the date of November 16th passed for a while, I was wondering if you have a heads-up about what happened on that day?


Re-reading this made me laugh once again However, did they address this issue? Or everything is still in limbo?

I would rather see TRX and the Tron network in general, USDT (TRC20). It is quite fast and transaction fees are really low, also almost all services use it and have it implemented, I'm of the opinion that it could be useful.

And speaking of new coins/networks, are you thinking of one day adding the Polygon-MATIC network on eXch?
It could be a good addition, especially for USDT and DAI, the fees on ERC20 are just crazy.

Good to know.

Strange how Binance and CZ ''lost'' all that money in very short amount of time, and now he needs to pay additional $4.3 billion after pleading guilty for money laundering.
That is to much coincidence if you ask me, and I don't trust anything he is saying, but it's clear to me that regulators are slowly shutting down all centralized exchanges, so we better get used to it.

Good to see you thinking of adding THORchain

I posted to some of THORchads so maybe you should see some increased volume from people.

Because the Fee of Bitcoin on the main network become high, this is the right time for people to use the Lightning Network for transaction. And, don't worry, on eXch exchange, we can exchange Bitcoin on LN network to another altcoin such as Ethereum, Monero, Dash, Litecoin, Dai, and USDT without exchanging it 1st to Bitcoin main network like ussual. this is one of the advantages eXch with I rarely found it on another exchange.

And, I was just surprised when I looked at the exchange because the Taproot address was already supported.



Good job!

Thanks for taking your time and replying to my question friend. As from now you are my to go Exchanger and if you add more tokens I would use you're website even more.  
You got 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me! Thanks!!

We performed a lot of testing sending our own high-risk coins in random amounts from 1 to 5 BTC multiple times and no funds were frozen. But this doesn't mean it won't change any soon. We are planning to remove Avalanche/ETH bridging bot once Thorchain/ETH bot and integration is fully deployed.



Possibly.




CZ's Tweet (https://nitter.cz/cz_binance/status/1723029611796152385) regarding the Montenegro incident is on 10th November. They talk about ~$12.5M in losses and USDT in the Tron network.

The 27$m incident seem to be happened  on 11th November and ocurred in the Ethereum network - https://etherscan.io/tx/0x0f2183c8e415e61b4ad7774bf1097019eb2d5b85798a2a229070495131d60321

It doesn't seem they are connected, even that the second incident happened to the Binance's customer too. Here is also a communication we received from the Binance Security Team regarding the stolen 27$M:


It is possible that Solana and some more popular currencies will be added, but we will await till the end of some hype trends first, because currently it's hard to tell whether Solana's popularity increase is natural or made up, but of course Visa's adoption is a serious step for it (but let's see if they don't change their mind?). We are also awaiting for more audits in regards to their code and network decentralization.

Hey and thanks for an excellent service. I have used your website to exchange BTC to ETH a couple of times! May I ask a question tho? Do you think you will add Solana to your coin list at your website anytime soon?
(maybe this have already been said if so then I missed it sorry)

Because it is important to keep those thing as they have been for a long time. It is convenient to continue using fiat currencies and banks for laundering money, but to do that they have to keep public`s attention away from it and refocus on something else. Cryptocurrency is an ideal candidate for this role, because there are already a lot of prejudice about their supposed scam and deceiving nature. So they only have to keep it that way.

I always wonder why these claims of laundering are so loud when it comes to crypto or decentralized no KYC services. To me, it is more of an excuse to demonize the freedom of privacy being promoted by platforms just as eXch.
Fiat currencies or banks are actually the biggest money laundering enablers we know.

why does it lead to eXch exchange? because someone could make the same trick or bad campaign to lead that laundry to eXch.

eXch exchange is aims for good, it's same as another exchange to help people swap his crypto, but eXch made is better than other exchanges because eXch is more decentralization, and don't need to KYC (prioritize privacy), So if someone misuses it and abuses it (for money laundry) It's not the exchange's fault, it's the same as fiat which is often used for that too, and even more than that such thing.

Is there any chance for coins to get seized with AVAX bridge even if amount is lower than 5 BTC?
I did some testing and I see long text for order confirmation, and long waiting time.
No surprise that Avax is not really decentralized, same like most shitcoins and services related with them, with only few exceptions.

This means we can expect support for more coins when Thorchain is added?

I don't know if this is connected but I heard from our local board that someone from Binance was kidnapped and robbed for millions of USDT in Montenegro.
This incident was later confirmed by CZ, but we know that someone tried to sell this USDT for cash  

Good to know. Last time I visited their official website it was mentioning they were *fully open-source* but this wording was removed from their site recently it seems, however I wasn't up-to-date on this since I don't personally use such wallets.

Them stopping being open-source adds even more weight to my previous words about bad coding practices in Trust Wallet. I've mentioned Trust Wallet in a negative context because we were recently called to assist some investigation of a user who *trusted* that wallet and got their funds drained in the way that even a notorious security firm who investigated their case wasn't able to tell how exactly the private key was leaked. We have pointed out that they shouldn've used that wallet in a first place because it has a bad track history of its security, exposing users to funds drain.

Here is some quote from our response sent to them in regards to Trust Wallet:


This is surprising, indeed. Good to know.

Your detailed response is great, as usual. I just wanted to point out that Trust Wallet is no longer open source, but closed source, and they have been closed source for a long time now. Their Github repositories are archived, and they have not be updated in years:
